Was there anything you wanted to add?

Great for the game not for the commentary box.

Yeah because we need superstars like Dwayne Russell to keep their jobs.

Ummm fare call.

To be fair I didn't read the article, just wanted to take a potshot at Dwayne Russell.

I'd like to see a lady with a good voice do some calling on the radio for a while and then move to TV. That lady who gave it a shot on C10 didn't have a very easy to listen to voice.

Still a fair comment....

I've enjoyed the articles so far on leading women in the industry, has been good.

Not to mention she constantly got players names wrong and would call the play 10 seconds after it happened

it is not like the men are much better at that.

Especially when there were guys like Walls and Lane on the same network.

 

[raghav]

Should be more of them, right across the board.

You compare Walls and Lane to the tripe served up by Channel Seven these days and tell me Ten didn't have the best TV football package this century.

That's like comparing having diarrhea to being constipated. In the end the product was still the same.

There is maybe 3-5 commentators across both channels that are decent at their job. The rest are terrible.

Women need to be given a chance to cut their teeth. Radio/Boundary riders/Match day hosts would be a good place to start. Get them known to the footballing public rather than just thrusting them into the commentary box cold-turkey.

Too many ******* ex-players that can barely string a coherent sentence together getting those types of jobs.
